Dear Guitar World,
*I won a drawing in a contest to pick any guitar I wanted. I am choosing the Dean razorback floyed lighting electric guitar2. This guitar is one that I have been dreaming of my whole life. It has a basswood top body and Bolt-on "C" shape maple neck. Also it has blue lightning on it with a black background color finish. To make it so amazing looking. It has a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. I would also want an amp with my guitar. But not really a big one just a traveler size because I travel alot and I would want to bring it with me to play it for my familiy. Since I travel with it alot I would like a hard shell case, so my guitar would be safe at all times anywhere when I'm traveling or even at home. It also has dime razor inlays, for its tone and style.

* I would try to learn the songs that were played on this kind of guitar to see if it gets the same sound to it. Like George Lynch has played a guitar like this one. I belive this type of guitar is the rock of ages. Most because if anyone knows George Lynch was and still is a legend at guitar. He is also my dad's idol, so if I get this guitar and play like George Lynch I would make my dad proud. I want him to be proud.
* I have heard from others who have had this guitar that it has an amazing sound that has a scream to it. To turn the amp down half way so that your ears are not burned off. I belive this type of guitar is the rock of ages. I see this guitar everywhere, on different websites. I am believing this must be an unbelivible guitar worth getting, I will use it to my best that I can.

* Maybe if I have this guitar, become famus using it and world wide I would be. I would thank you Guitar World for giving me this chance with an amazing guitar like this one. Then everyone would want to buy guitars from Guitar World. Follow into my footsteps.

*Guitar World, please I would really like this guitar I would put it in good use. It is a guitar anyone would dream to have. I've wanted it forever, please have my dream come true.

From,
Amazing Guitarist Vienna Pierce
